Let the composer grow with long prompts and focus from anywhere on its row

The input row had a fixed 88px height, so a growing textarea overflowed
into the thread and tools strip. It now has a minimum height, grows to
eight lines then scrolls, keeps the buttons at the bottom, and falls back
to a JS auto-grow where field-sizing isn't supported. A click anywhere on
the row focuses the input.
